    All must keep note of the 4 drug treatments that can be used for Covid-19.
    These are
    Favipiravir: Japanese influenza drug made in India by Glenmark
    Remdesivir: Ebola treatment drug used extensively in USA
    Hydroxychloroquine: Anti Malaria drug used in US by many.
    Tocilizumab: Anti anthritis drug.
    No.2 and 3. has been used extensively in US and the fatal rates have come down from 4% to 1.5% in the US during the last 45 days, effectively meaning the rate is only 1 to 1.25% during the last 45 days.

    YOGESH, Mangalore,

    Rightly said.
    Youngsters or those who have natural strong immune system may hardly feel the common cold like symptoms and when they with the family members, most likely victims are elderly and those who are
    suffering with kidney ailments, diabetes, those who suffer with high BP & Sugar are easy victims.
    People should think their own benefits and the safety of others who are around. I wear mask since 4 months, hardly any socialization, carry a small bottle of sanitizer 24 hours, glows if needed, sanitize coins or currency notes what we receive. goes on ........

    What a sad thing to happen ?
    Terrible loss on the part of his family members. Sheer pre-mature death.
    Corona virus is taking away everything in this world ! No body is sure when the invisible enemy will strike ! Best way to follow all the guidelines as published by health specialist.
    May the departed Soul rest in peace.

    One has to have good luck & fortune to recover. Even if one has multiple risk factors you recover ,but need to go go to top pvt hospitals like our ministers,MLAs ,filmstars do,spend 5 to 15 lacs rupees for treatment. In govt hospitals, care is in shambles. Few days to get a bed,no proper medicine,care or qualified doctors treat you. God save the poor people of India.
